Where the Cigar Got Its Name.

The origin Of the word cigar is Of some
interest and is net 10 he found in the
ordinary dictionaries. The word, Of
course. is Spanish. and Littre in his
French dictionary says that it is derived
from cigarra. the Spanish name for grass
hopper. When the Spaniards first intro
duced tobacco into Spain from the island
OF Cuba, in the Sixteenth century, they
cultivated the plant in their gardens,
which in Spanish are called cigarrales.
Each grew his tobacco in his cigarral and
rolled il up for smoking, as he had learned
from the Indians in the West Indies.
When one offered a smoke to friend he
could say: "Es de mi cigarral' it is
from my garden. Soon the expression
came to be: Este cigarrO es dc mi cigar
ral''-this cigar is from my garden. And
from this the word spread over the world.
The name cigarral for garden comes from
cigarra, grasshopper, that insect being
gery common in Spain, and cigarral mean
jng the place where the cigarra sings. In
this way the word cigar comes from
cigarra. the name Of the insect. not be-
cause it resembles the body Of the grass
hopper, but because II was grown in the
place il frequents. Chicago Tribune.

secret of Petrifactlop

Forty years ago there died in Padua
the physician and chemist, @. B. Masse-

containing the secret Of his method of
petritication. which was only TO be di-
vulged to his legal heirs. Until recently
all search for the heirs of DR.. Massedaglia
remained fruitless, but they have at last
beed discovered, and are offered very
large sums for the secret, which, how

THE STORY OF A SLAYER.

Ing In Boston.
The other day I heard a story from Q
~ captain who has been all over the
world and finally settled near Atlanta,
che best place, be says, he has ever found.
Among the ~seafaring men he knew be-
fore the wal was a captain that had been
Q shaver. Once he had a cargo Of 800
dawes, sailing with them from of the
coast Of Africa 10 Cuba. After a few
days sail he saw he was chased by q
United States man of war. II he was
caught with the slaves the penalty was
dsath for him and his crew, and his cargo
was worth $500, 000. So he had two in
centives 70 get away, and made his prep
erat,ons for either event-escape or cap
ture. He hung the heavy iron cable or
chain that holds the anchor all around
the hull Of his vessel, on the outside, just
below the edge Of the deck. 1t was held
by some cleats. These cables are 80 heavy
that q man can lift only about two feet
Of one. Then he had the 800 naked ne
groes brought on deck and each ones
wrists crossed and tied fast. They were
then placed along the gunwales, facing
outward and leaning over, and a strong
cord fastened the hands of each n to this
heavy iron cable Just below them on the
outside.
Then the captain awaited the result Of
the race. He had ON every stitch of can
vas his poles could carry. II he could
run till dark he hoped to dodge the
steamer and be out of sight before an
other day. But the sun did not go down
fast enough, and the steamer came on too
fast. There was at last no hope-of es-
cape. The crew stood ready with axes;
the captain raised his hand, and in an in
slant every cleat was knocked loose.
There wa a sudden jerk, over went the
negroes; there was for an instant a fringe
OF 600 black heels in the air, and cable
and negroes were gone TO the bottom.
Commodore Maury says the pressure Of
water at great depths is such that fishes
cannot 60 there to devour and chemical
decomposition cannot take place. So
these negroes are down there yet, still
tied in q circle to that iron cable, with
their heads down and heels up, in the
eternal stiffness of those depths.
As soon as the man of wal came up a
lieutenant boarded the slaver and found
plenty signs@ negroes, but not a single
slave. And the captain was not arrested.
he soon had another cargo of negroes,
which he this time successfully landed
and sold in Cuba. On his return to Bos-
ton, however, he and his mate fell out,
and the mate told ON him. The captain
q away to Cuba and was not prose-
cuted. After awhile his friends sue
ceeded in getting a pardon for him from
the president, and he returned to Boston,
where he now resides-wealthy, happy
and respected. He told this story to his
old friend, who told it to me. As for the
poor negroes jerked over the gunwales 80
suddenly headforemost into the water
~forever-well, they were captured while
trying to capture some other negroes to
seIl, and only suffered the fate they were
trying to impose on others of their own
hnd.-Atlanta Constitution.
